Case brief
RBI imposed a Rs 50,000 penalty on The City Co-operative Bank, Hassan, Karnataka for KYC non-compliance. The bank had failed to upload customer KYC records to CKYCR on time.
Impact
The bank must absorb the penalty and continue complying with RBI’s KYC and CKYCR requirements. The action does not, by itself, restrict operations or customer activity, but RBI has stated that the penalty is without prejudice to any other action it may initiate.
Why RBI acted
Regulatory basis
